Not good

Many conservatives point to "gay marriage" as something that would be the ultimate sign of the fall of our society into moral degradation.

Not me. Many of those "conservatives" are simply hypocrites. They talk a good game, but the fact is they pick and choose what parts of "morality" they want to believe in. They don't think guys should be able to marry guys because they think it's perverted and immoral, but they don't adhere to that high moral standard in other areas of life. They get wasted on the weekends, watch porn on the weeknights, and are all around moral degenerates.

This post began as a criticism of the recent signing of "The Simpsons" to two more seasons. I began thinking of the many "conservatives" who love to watch Homer drink himself silly, Bart mouth off to his parents and show utter disregard for any authority, and more. I've only seen a few portions of a few episodes, so I'm not an expert on what all "more" entails. All I know is that the little I've seen has been enough to make me turn the channel.

I'm not suggesting that I'm a supreme moral being who everyone else should admire and look up to. I'm suggesting that "social conservatives" quit pretending to be something they're not. I hate to see hypocrisy in people. If you're against gay marriage, be against it. But don't pretend it's because you're taking some moral high road. All you're doing with that argument is helping the liberals make their claim (and justly so) that your words don't match your actions.
